'SHENORHALI' AND THE CHOIR OF THE SEMINARY
GIVE A CONCERT AT THE MAR ELIAS CHURCH IN ANTELIAS
On Tuesday 29 November the two choirs of the Catholicosate of Cilicia were
invited by the World Catholic Association of Communication to give a concert
at the Mar Elias Church in Antelias. The choir of the Catholicosate was
selected to take part in the series of concerts dedicated to church music
from different confessional communities in Lebanon. The programme included
Armenian liturgical hymns and folk songs, edited by Komitas, Yekmalian and
late Archbishop Zareh Aznavourian.
Under the baton of Father Torkom Donoyan, the two choirs, comprising around
sixty persons, sang together and separately. In his opening speech, on
behalf of the Association, Father Tony Khadra welcomed the choir and spoke
of the important contribution of the Armenian community to all aspects of
Lebanese life.
The concert ended with the choirs singing "Cilicia", the anthem of the
Catholicosate together.
